| BACKSTORY: For entertainment, The Gonzalez Trio (or the Gonzalez Duo whenever sister Carmelita wasn’t around) was a popular group in early Disneyland history. They used to sing a parody of “Cocktails for Two” called “Tacos for Two”: In some secluded rendezvous That overlooks the avenue With someone sharing a delightful chat Of this and that And ordered tacos for two Our hearts were burning, but it wasn't from the yearning, so we both reached for the water, ’cause our faces, red were turning We found we didn’t have a dime And so for that we’re doing time The trio was featured in “Fun in Frontierland,” which aired July 21, 1962. Originally, they were referred to as “The Trio Gonzalez, Gonzalez and Gonzalez.” They sang many popular Latino songs, including "Guadalajara," "El Rancho Grande," and "La Bamba," before it was a hit by Ritchie Valens. Steve Martin, who once sold trick lassos as a boy at a nearby stand, recalls thinking,"That song could be a hit. And then it was." |
